Description

JVL and Jonathan Cohn give their take on the shocking changes coming from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services. The federal government is now recommending fewer vaccines for American children, including RSV and Hep B, while flu, COVID-19, and rotavirus vaccines move to “shared clinical decision-making.” What does this mean for parents, pediatricians, and public health? How could it affect vaccine access, liability, and supply? And is this just the first step in a larger anti-vaccine agenda? We break it all down.

Denmark also has Universal health care. If a child gets sick, they will get treated. In the US, the family might go bankrupt.

Children stay home for their first year of life in Denmark due to parental leave. Children in Denmark as adults go to healthcare providers much more than in the US because they have Universal Healthcare. There are no problems of polluted water and sanitation in Denmark. Danish people are better educated than Americans and much less superstitious. There is little problem of transportation in Denmark.

This is the Danish policy we’re adopting?? Not more equitable pay, smaller wealth gap, more public holidays, better quality of life, universal healthcare, paid parental leave, shorter work days? None of these?
